A complete set of the three parts of Maimonides acclaimed work The Guide for the Perplexed in German and Hebrew bound in one volume. All of the editions included here contain the first German translations of their respective parts of the text.<br /> <br /> Maimonides' intention with this work was to reconcile Aristotelian thought and logic with traditional Rabbinical Jewish theology. Originally written circa 1190 in Judeo-Arabic as Dalalat al-Ha'irin these writings takes the form of a lengthy three-part letter to his student Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta and are seen as the main source for understanding Maimonides' philosophic view rather than his strictly being his views on Jewish law. It is the most known of his works in the non-Jewish world. The work's first translation into Hebrew was in 1204 by Rabbi Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon c.1150 - c.1230 a contemporary of Maimonides.<br /> <br /> Content:<br /> <br /> Moreh li-Tsedakah. Hu Sefer Moreh Nevukhim FIRST PART. 1839. Second German-language edition. 19 double-sided leaves with Hebrew pagination. 392pp. 3.

However for this second edition of that translation it is interesting to note that the text of the German is printed in Hebrew script. Content finely printed in double and single-column layouts with commentary printed in Rashi script. Divided in 76 chapters this part of the work contains discussions of an understanding and definition of the nature of God and divine anthropomorphism in the Hebrew bible including a detailed analysis of the Biblical Hebrew of the text to these ends.

First German-language edition. x 99pp. This is the first German translation of the work's second part taken from the original Arabic text by way of the French translation by Salomon Munk 1861. The original Hebrew translation of the text is accompanied throughout by a translation and commentary in German by Max Emanuel Stern 1811-1873. Divided into 48 chapters the second part involves Maimonides discussion of proof of the existence of God the nature of creation the concept of prophecy and an examination of the 26 propositions for Aristotle's metaphysics. The initial pages contain introduction and foreword by Stern. Also included is a fold-out plate containing facsimile text from an original signed manuscript note from the hand of Maimonides himself written in Japhet son of Solomon's corrected manuscript copy of the Mishneh Torah held at Bodleian Library at Oxford MS Hunt.80 leaf 165a. <br /> <br /> AND WITH<br /> Dalalat al Haiirin Burechtweisung der Verirrten.

Design and lithography by ArtnetworX GmbH Hannover. A collection of photographs taken in the "dazzling California sunshine or in not exactly comfortable rooms" depicting Radha and Max not a man seemingly exhausted lost empty or insecure; the emptiness of their gaze reminds us of the loneliness of people in the paintings of Degas so Stefan Gronert in his text. He likens the Schneider motifs to B-Movies showing people who don't want to succumb to the Hollywood dream. Memories of Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills" flair up he writes though Schneider's photos are soft a picture language with pale artificially garish color scales tying into the stereotypes of Hollywood films. A Polaroid story turned into magnified C-prints giving us the impression of a story without a plot. Minor wear along edges of binding. Galerie Kämpf hardcover

Edition of 300 numbered copies plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce signed by the translator and illustrator. The course to publication of this book took many turns. It was first suggested by our literary agent Fred Hill who put Hoyem in touch with his friend Brian Bedford a distinguished actor who specializes in Molière comedies. <br /> <br /> Photographs of a current production of "Tartuffe" proved impossible to obtain as illustrations. While waiting for another idea for the art Hoyem got in touch with the poet Richard Wilbur who had made an excellent translation of the play in rhymed verse and obtained permission to use it. Then William Hamilton the "New Yorker" cartoonist came to mind. Hoyem had met Hamilton in 1978 and admired his liquid line and quick capturing of character and expression in his send-ups of WASPs. But could he do period costumes Hamilton made seven charming drawings with the main characters in period dress and the servants in modern dress. <br /> <br /> To celebrate the publication the Arion staff presented a staged reading from the play directed by veteran actress and director Joy Carlin. Bruce Bolt an eminent seismologist at the University of California Berkeley and an amateur actor took a matronly role wearing a skirt with an elastic waistband borrowed from his wife. <br /> <br /> This was the fifth volume in our drama series. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
